When worldly bonds are dissolved there is no need of dissolution of the physical

[dattaswami]

When worldly bonds are dissolved there is no need of dissolution of the physical world

 In doing the service to the Lord the full concentration is possible only when all the worldly bonds are dissolved.  Without the dissolution of the worldly bonds the practical love or service to God cannot continue. Therefore, Shiva (Lord) represents the dissolution of the world.  Here the world means the network of all the worldly bonds only.  Therefore, Shiva means the dissolution of worldly bonds and not the physical world.  Even if the soul is dragged out of this world, the attractions continue in the soul as Vasanas or Samskaras.  Hence, dissolution of the world is not the solution.  When worldly bonds are dissolved there is no need of dissolution of the physical world.

Even in the final dissolution (Maha Pralaya), the souls remain with their worldly attractions and therefore there is no significance of the dissolution of the world in the spiritual path. When there is no use and need to dissolve the world, why should there be dissolution of the world at all?  The Lord created this world with so many plans and if He dissolves the entire world without any use to the soul, it is foolishness.  When He wants to take rest, He will withdraw Himself from the world and take rest.  He need not destroy the world and take the rest.  When the academic work is over for that day, the school need not be destroyed and rebuilt on the next day.  The teacher and the students will withdraw themselves from the school for rest.

 Similarly, in Maha Pralaya, God will withdraw Himself from the world and the souls also withdraw from the world and take rest for some time in a state of deep sleep called “Avyaktam”.  In fact, God does not need any rest and therefore God is aware of the whole world because His awareness is the basis of maintenance of the world. If God is not aware of anything, that particular thing does not exist at all.  Hence, the rest is only for the sake of the souls.
